From Seville train to Malaga and bus to Nerja just for the night, went to all our usual haunts, hit about 9 or 10 bars, Pepe Moles best food as always, great welcome in Rincon de Sabor and Los Barillas, like being at home, the three Spanish Troubadours played in Barillas along with the great cheese tapas made it a highpoint.
Back to Malaga the next morning, dropped bags off went for a stroll, bit of shopping and some great food. Had nothing bad but as always Cortido de Pepe was a highlight, surprisingly quiet and Tapas de Cervantes, possibly even better than it's usual "favourite tapas bar in the whole world" label - again a friendly welcome back from the owner and great recommendations. Had a glass in La Tranca to finish - absolutely rammed, great atmosphere.

Self Catering - do this a lot, especially, Oz, Spain and USA, I love cooking and am happy to do it on my hols - however there should be a minimum set of things, some which I didn't get in Seville:
Salt
Pepper or chilli
oil of some sort, preferably olive
vinegar - unless citrus fruits grow abundantly
frying pan
couple of pans with lids
wooden spoon
reasonable sharp knife
chopping board
A few staples wouldn't go amiss - pasta, rice, tea, coffee
Most places I go to have most of these, but I to buy salt, a knife and oil last week, not expensive (all told less than €3) and I left them all for next visitor, but I think there should be an acceptable minimum
